Principal’s

Message

Last week was the Rotary Young Driver

Awareness training day in Dubbo. This was an

excellent opportunity for our current and emerging

drivers to learn about the dangers and

responsibilities of having a drivers licence. I feel

sorry for the bus drivers that returned these young

people to school in the afternoon as the knowledge

and free advice would have been flowing. Usually

with some it is flowing, but I would not describe it

as knowledge and I certainly would not take it as

advice. However, hopefully their on-road behaviour

will benefit from the experience, especially in that

split second decision making process that the

correct choice could save their lives and the lives

of others.

This week our school Counsellor is available

Wednesday, CHS swimming on Thursday, PSSA

swimming at Dubbo and 9/10 Agriculture

excursion to Manildra, Friday. This week is an

example of the variety of experiences that are

available at this outstanding public school.

On Thursday last week our school hosted Sam

Farraway, Member of Legislative Council for NSW, Peter Kelly, Chair of Trundle Progress Association

and Ken Keith OAM Mayor of Parkes Shire; an

impressive starting front row indeed! These

important people announced 160 thousand dollars

for the construction of a skate park in Trundle. I

am very excited as we always need to continually

look for new opportunities for our young people.

A 25 metre pool that is not open all week, just

does not cut it in 2020.

The huge advantage with a skate park is, once it is

established the maintenance costs are minimal.

Also, a young person can enjoy the experience

without having to pay the registration and

insurance costs associated with organised sport.

Despite government subsidies, the cost of

organised sport excludes many children. Also,

some parents either cannot, or will not, transport

children to the various venues for competition,

limiting opportunity for some children. Again

opportunity for children is determined by

geography, a disgrace in this wealthy country.

This school has been instrumental in the 5 year

process of obtaining this grant, for this important

addition to community infrastructure. The process

started with:

• A group of primary students designing a skate

park as part of Primary Enrichment classes

five years ago.

• A letter from the school to Parkes Shire

asking for a skate park to be considered for

Trundle. • A delegation sponsored by Parkes Shire

visiting the school to determine student

interest and discuss possible designs and

locations.

• A visit from a professional skateboarder to

show the children what is possible in the

sport.

• The school approached Rick Colless, former

member of Legislative Council for NSW to

consider funding the project and others at

the school. Rick is an outstanding individual

and supporter of country NSW. He was

responsible for a grant for part of the

construction costs of our netball court. I

suspect Mr Colless was also lobbying for the

skate park on our behalf.

• The school approached the Trundle Progress

Association to consider the possibility of a

skate park in Trundle. Mr Andrew

Rawsthorne, as per usual, was extremely

supportive of the concept.

• The school met with Michael McCormack

(Federal member) and Phil Donato (State

member) informally, about the possibility of a

skate park in Trundle, as well as other

infrastructure projects for youth.

Trundle Progress Association, under the leadership

of Mr Peter Kelly, should be congratulated on its

proactive, positive, attitude to community development and renewal. This town has

community spirit and determination that may allow

it to survive as others around us slowly die. This

possible longevity is generated by people that put

their hand up, such as the Trundle Progress

Association. I thank them for their work on this

project.

This skate park is just like the relatively new

teacher housing, new buses, painting of the school,

grounds improvement, air-conditioning and much

more. It is an indication that even in difficult

agricultural times, the town can still move forward.

There are now additional houses for sale and

rentals in our town. Hopefully, new families will

move to town and revitalise the social and

economic wealth of this town. The Middle Trundle

Road makes travelling to Parkes easier, but it does

run both ways. This town could be a perfect

lifestyle destination for a family wanting to enter

the real estate market. Plenty of big houses to

accommodate the seven children with a passion for

public education for sale.

During the process of obtaining the skate park, I

received letters condemning the idea of a skate

park because it will create a centre for community

vandalism and drug selling. These letters were

signed anonymous. Before I came to Trundle I

thought anonymous was a bartender at a Greek

island resort. I seem to get a few letters from

Anonymous so he / she appears they live locally. In

the six years, I have been Principal of this school I

have had a child scribble in pencil on a toilet cubicle

and it is obvious the drug trade is operated by

adults, supporting their own habit or profiting from

the misery of others. The notion that the

construction of a skate park is going to bring a

malevolent gang of drug selling graffiti artists to

town is in my opinion (and I have a few) ridiculous.

Mr Farraway whilst visiting offered to listen to any

of my concerns in regards to education in Trundle

(he may regret that) and offered to invite the

Education Minister to Trundle to view this

impressive public school. Mr Farraway was glowing

in his praise of the appearance of the school and

the manners, appearance and behaviour of our

students. Over 50 years (many over unfortunately)

has given me a reasonable ability to spot empty

vessels, you know the kind that make the most

noise. Mr Farraway does not seem to be one of

those people. He seems to have a genuine interest in country Australia. Two issues (amongst the

many), I believe Mr Farraway needs to be aware of

are:

• The massive disadvantage country students

have in terms of the costs of progressing to

university, tafe or the workforce.

• The almost total lack of point of need mental

health services for country students.

Recently in the media, the national sport of teacher

bashing appeared, despite public schools once again

topping the Higher School Certificate. This school

has two graduate teachers. Both are displaying the

skills, talent and attitude to be outstanding

educators. I have not asked them what their ATAR

to enter university was. I am sure it was

satisfactory because they have the content

knowledge and skills. As a Principal, I am more

worried about their ability to motivate students to

be lifelong learners. The notion in the media that

HSC entry score is the sole determining factor for

teacher success is simplistic, as the human factors are also vitality important. Our school will continue

to provide opportunities for these young

professionals to further develop their skills this

year. The problem is that the numerous successes

of teachers are not recognised because that is

expected, but the failures of the very few ineffective

teachers sells media time. The Department has

processes for teacher improvement and removal if

necessary. As a Principal, I believe it is a privilege to

teach so I do not hesitate to place teachers on

improvement programs when necessary. This will

not be an issue this year, as we have an outstanding

group of professionals, clearly the best since I have

been in Trundle.

When I went to school, if I presented with a poor

report card, my parents would question and

discipline me. Today, often when a child presents

with a poor report card, the school / system is

questioned. This is healthy in some respects

because we must always reflect on our

performance, but I wonder if it is becoming easier

to question / blame the institution rather than

individuals or families. We have moved

responsibility away from the home / family onto

schools, police, hospitals etc. I have even had

parents numerous times in my career state they

cannot control their children at home, so the

school better.

Our program of school improvement continues.

The fencing around the school was a disgrace five

years ago. I believe it reflected an attitude that if it

is there, it is good enough. Yes it was a fence, and it

did mark the border of the school and kept a few

dogs out (very stupid ones). However, it was not

the best we can have, and deserve, so in my

opinion it is not good enough. Another project for

Page 4: Trundle Central School Newsletter · malevolent gang of drug selling graffiti artists to town is in my opinion (and I have a few) ridiculous. ... in country Australia. Two issues

Telephone: (02) 68921303 Fax: (02) 68921184 Email: [email protected] School webpage – https://trundle-c.schools.nsw.gov.au Facebook - www.facebook.com/TrundleCentralSchool

Page 4 Term 1 Week 7

the future, is the front fence. Again, it is functional

but it is again not good enough as it detracts from

the visual appeal of the school. The presentation of

the school and classrooms should reflect our

attitude and beliefs. A clean, visually appealing

school, tells the public that this school has spirit,

pride and is innovative. Mr Grady, Mr Mudge and

the students should take great pride in the

comments from our visitors.

In some more outstanding news, our school has

been included in the next round of solar

installations for schools. The tenders close in the

next few weeks and installation will begin after this

date. This is exciting because of the practical nature of solar electricity production. Trundle has

clear, bright, long days, perfect for generating

pollution free electricity, so it seems a logical

addition to the school.

The construction of the TAS outdoor workshop

will also begin this week. This will increase the

capacity and safety of the workshop area and

allow for more student extension projects. In

addition, the school will be constructing an

additional bus shed to house our new 25 seat bus.

Both these projects will be completed by local

people, effectively keeping government money in

the local communities. All these buildings will be

connected to rain water tanks, preserving

precious water.

Our computer system is essential for the

functioning of classrooms and administration. This

is why if any student tampers with the system

exposing it to possible viruses, it is taken

extremely seriously. Our system allows us to track

who was logged onto the system, the time and

what they have been viewing etc. In short, it is very

easy to catch who is responsible. Depending on the

nature of the breach, it will be dealt with under the

Schools Discipline Code or reported to the Police.

The panic buying of toilet paper is an indication of

the power of the media to incite panic, and unfortunately the gullible nature of some people.

The Corona virus is not a gastro virus. Therefore,

unless you are using the toilet paper to construct a

mask or seal off your isolation room, your normal

supply of 3ply (2ply if you have a government

backside) will do the job. One condition that is

currently in the town is conjunctivitis. This is a

highly infectious condition and students with the

infection are not to attend school when infected.

Note, I stated in the town as to my knowledge one

of the many Trundle stray cats, a few black snakes

and an echidna live at the school, so any conditions

are transported from home.

Hopefully reading this Principal’s message has not

made you require more toilet paper.

What did you do for fun?

What was your favourite toy?

Did you have any jobs/roles to do in your home?

Can you name anything different about then,

compared to now?

K/1/2 are welcomed to bring in any photos or

objects to share stories of their investigation

on Thursday 12th, March.

Ajax’s

Weekly Woof

I have been on rain leave. The boss does not like

me in the school when the grounds are wet

because I track mud into the classrooms. Mate,

look at the logic. I have four paws that together

would not be half the size of one of Dylan’s,

Anthony’s or Jaxson’s shoes. Come on Southo, let

the dog back, I am off the cheap dog food and

smelling like Potpourri. You let the giant’s run free.

Woof Woof Awards:

500 happy barks to primary classes. You’re

working well and seem happy. It is alright guys, I

looked in the history books. It was rain, no need to

panic. Apparently in the old days, it rained for

more than 10 minutes at a time.

500 happy barks to our big buddies for their care

of the Kinders. I constantly (when the boss lets me

and forgets his precious carpet) see the care and

compassion you are showing towards the younger

children.

500 happy barks to Harry Wu. Mrs Southon is

constantly telling funny ‘Harry Wu moments’.

Always keep the real boss of Trundle Heights

Doggy Resort happy. Well done, Harry.

600 happy barks to the new students, Jennifer and

Nancy Lornie, for the excellent way you have

settled into the school and your beautiful gentle

natures and positive attitude. If you want to know

anything, ask the dog because I know and see

everything.

601 happy barks to Jo Randall who constructs and

distributes the drought relief packages. This is not

part of her job but she does it for the families of

the school.

5000 happy barks for all the teachers of the world.

On the weekend there were five teachers working

at the school all weekend. This is a 9 to 3:30 job. I think not!! It amazes me that we are quick to

criticise teachers until we need them to solve the

problems of society.

5000 happy barks to the people who worked to

achieve the funding for a skate park in Trundle.

Well done to all involved.

I was very lucky in my childhood because I had a

good family. First with Guide dogs NSW / ACT,

then in the marble halls of Abbotsleigh and then

with my Trundle family, but not all children have

that. It is important that the community look out

for children because a village raises a child.

Until next week, Ajax

Bark with laughter with

Ajax:

Where do famous dragons go after they retire?

The hall of flame!

Meet the Author – Littlescribes Writing Program This year K-6 are involved in a program called

Littlescribes. This program – Littlescribe – allows

kids to write and draw their own book, then

photograph and collate the pages and add it to their

own private digital book club or make it available

for all Littlescribe members. There is also the

option to have the book made into a hard copy.

The students will be working with an author to

help them with creativity and get them started. The

authors for this year are Andrew Daddo and James

Foley.

Last Thursday the students participated in a

webinar to meet Andrew Daddo. It was such a

fantastic experience.

Sun Safe Policy This term is a No Hat No Play term. Students

MUST wear a wide brimmed hat. This means that if

they do not have a hat, they cannot participate in

any outdoor activities including lunch time play. We

keep a small selection of spare hats for those

students who accidently forget their hats. These

hats are washed regularly but are not to be used

every day by the same students. We will endeavour

to call parents to let them know their child has

forgotten their hat so that it can be found. Please make sure you put your child’s name inside their

hat.

Swimming For Sport This term we are reducing the size of our groups

by sending one group to the pool at 1:00pm. This

group will return to school at 2pm, have lunch and

return to class for half an hour.

The second group will walk to the pool as per usual

and can be picked up at 3pm at the pool.

Alternatively, if your child catches a bus home, they

will be picked up at the pool.

Please check your child’s note carefully. If your

child is in the group from 1:00-2:00pm, it is

preferable for your child to bring their lunch and

suggested that they also bring extra recess.

If your child is ordering their lunch, it would

preferable to order something cold rather than hot

food as the lunch orders will be dropped off at

1:00pm and the students in the 1:00-2:00pm session

will not be eating their lunch until 2:00pm.

WSSA Swimming Good luck to Jessica Morgan, Chloe Budd, Lucy

Hartig, Seth Prebendarcik and Thomas Sanderson

who will swim at the WSSA Swimming carnival on

Friday. Thank you to all the parents who will

transport and support their children on the day!

Trundle Eats Each Tuesday we are lucky enough to have the

option of Trundle Eats for lunch. When filling in a

lunch order, could you please write your child’s

year on their order. This makes distribution much

quicker at lunch time.

Crunch and Sip Children are encouraged to bring FRESH fruit or

vegetables to school for Crunch and Sip. They are

also able to have a sipper bottle of water in the

classroom.

Secondary

Congratulations to all of the students in Stage 6

who started their Minimum Standards Testing last

week. This is new for the students and their

willingness and application to these “extra”

examinations is commendable. We will continue

with these exams on Monday afternoons until we

have completed them.

Good luck to the TCS chess team for Wednesday’s

clash with Henry Lawson School at Grenfell. It is

awesome to see such a diverse range of activities

being offered to our students. Thanks to Mr Lynn

for his organisation and transport on the day.

This Thursday our students who are swimming at

Western Region will be competing at Dubbo.

Good luck to those Secondary students who are

competing on Thursday and to our Primary

students who will be in the pool on Friday. Thanks

to Mrs Morgan for her organisation of our students

competing.

On Friday I had the pleasure of working with the

Community Service Interest Elective students. I

want to mention these students and School Service

students as well. These electives require the

students to do actual physical work for the good of

other people. I was blown away by the positiveness

of these student’s attitude, as well as the joy they

displayed in working with each other.

It is a true mark of exceptionalism when people

can find joy in unrewarded work for improving

others lives. I hold the same beliefs when it comes

to School Service on a Thursday. Well done to all

the students and thanks to Mrs Budd and Miss

Rowlands for staffing these electives and the

enthusiasm that has been passed onto the students.

Year 7 and 9 will be sitting their NAPLAN

examinations next term. If you have any concerns

with your child partaking in these exams please

contact me at school to discuss this matter.

Have a great week

RYDA

Last Tuesday, our Year11 students attended the RYDA Road Safety Education program. The day aims

to provide the students with information and skills to make them more aware of their decisions on the

road and the importance of a positive attitude, both as a passenger and driver. They attended

presentations from a range of people including a police officer, crash survivor, brain trauma nurses and

driving instructors. The boys had a very educational day and as expected, they actively engaged in all

presentations and displayed excellent behavior.

Trundle Junior Cricket to play in the Grand Final! On Saturday the Trundle Juniors hosted the

Gilgais in the elimination final. Trundle won the

toss and elected to bowl first.

In very dewy conditions the home side performed

well and kept scoring low and then in the 8th over

claimed their first wicket and proceeding onto the

drinks break with the Gilgais on 24 runs for the

loss of 3 wickets. After the break with ground

conditions improving the home side bowled very

well containing the visitors to 53 runs, all out in the 27th over. Congratulations to Blair MacDonald

for a great bowling performance taking 3 wickets

for 3 runs.

Charlie Taunton and Sam Charlton again opened

the batting for the home side and it was Slamming

Sam who set the pace, showing no signs of nerves
